tercel89

With all the gun buying and hoarding going on I'd never expect to find a deal like I did. I set out looking to buy one of 2 Ruger P89's that I found at a shop. The prices on them were not good compared to the shape they were in. I know the P89 can endure lots of damage and still run fine. But these guns were priced more than what they did new and these even had rust. By the time I paid tax and background check it would cost me $428 and that's with no box and one beat up off brand magazine. So I went back home and decided to stop at my local shop. There was a new in box Beretta 92 Compact in the case. It was made in Italy and has the "IT17" Mark's on it showing it made there in Italy in year 2017. After tax and background check I got out the door for $424. I'm a sucker for the Beretta 92 series and Rugers P-Series. I couldn't believe it was there with all the gun hoarding and buying going on. Bare shelves and hardly any ammo. People houng nuts grabbing and buying anything they can yet there was this nice new Beretta for half the normal price. I swear I love how these things line the cartridge up and feed it straight into the barrel. No tilting or runing up ramps to worry with.

I saw that too ! Ouch !

Look at this video . It looks like they shot a Gen 5 22 10,000 rds . I cant read it but I saw 10,000 in the end LOL .

Just wondering what you guys thought. From some pictures of a Glock 22 in Brazil , it shows the 22 to have 2 pins. Here's a link https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/01/19/gen5-glock-22-sao-paulo/

The Glock Gen 5 chambered in .40S&W have been announced that they will be coming out. My question is this : If Glock is making them in Gen 5 then what's up with all the talk about the .40S&W cartridge being a round that beats and tears guns up ? I have shot .40 S&W Glocks since 1996 and still today. The Glock 22's get these little wear marks or peeing marks under the slide and then the wear stops. One certain firearms trainer here in Tennessee says that they will never go beyond somewhere around 35-40,000 rds. He does know what he's talking abot and he's a smart guy as he's seen a lot come through classes but I dont see Glock making Gen 5's in the cartridge if they are this destructive. Your thoughts ?????

Channel 5 news just said that there has been 688 new cases in only 24 hours. The weird thing is that I haven't seen any long lines at doctor offices , health departments or hospitals for people getting tested. No long lines at all. BUT when the toilet paper thing was going on , you'd see lines wrapped around the buildings and all kinds of nonsense. This makes me think these "new cases" are just bull crap.

I bought 3 firearms from them. 2 purchases in 2012. Another in 2013. I called ahead and made sure they had them in stock. I told them I was coming from Middle Tn . I got there and rang the bell on the door. They let me in and I was able to look at the gun before I bought it cause it was a used pistol. I paid in cash and did the background check and was out in under 20 minutes. Very good place. It is like a order online type place but you can pick it up in person too. But there weren't many on display. Kinda like Mid South Shooters Supply. You mainly order online but can still pick it up in person. Just call ahead to make sure you can still do that.

Did yall eat that one ?

Let us know what happens. I am interested. We went to gen 5 G17's at work 2 years and I havent seen this happen yet. I do know that when I take the slide off my Gen 5 17 , once I pull the slide back and pull down on the slide LOCK AKA take-down-lever , the slide can come off only half way forward instead of having to push it off all the way. I think it's because of the slide-STOP cuts on both sides.

Prayers sent

The rope trick is how I caught my first one. LOL. It really worked !!!!

Looks like Gen 4 production is stopping. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/07/02/glock-gen4-guns/

have you taken out the pins yet ? It looks like they are out. I'd do that and try to remove the rear slide plate cover to pull the striker out. Also , keep pressing the trigger anytime it resets itself while you are messing with it along with pulling down the slide-lock (disassembly lever).

Failure to feed , failure to eject and some people , including myself , had rust pop up on them. I had a Glock 27 Gen 4 and mine had rust form on it and I am very careful to keep mine wiped down good. As far as I know the Gen 4's are fixed now.

I went back today and hooked another one the same size but he got off. I then saw one at least 5 feet long and very big around. I couldn't lure him in. If I was to catch him , I bet those loins would be at least the thickness of your wrist . He was a big dude.

Yeah the eggs are supposedly toxic but the way I dressed this Gar , I only cut the skin , opened him up and took out the loins . This way of doing it doesn't even cut into the guts at all.

All my life I've been told that Gar were trash fish and tasted terrible. I've been fishing a lot lately and been seeing Gar swiming right by me. So I decided to catch one amd eat it. They are great ! Taste just like alligator and the meat is really clean and doesn't smell. It's kinda chewy and very meaty like alligator but I like that. When I dressed the Gar I used tin snips to cut the armor skin. It really is like armor. I then cut away the long strips of meat just like you would on a deer. They ate like to long boneless tenderloins. I didn't even have to get into the guts at all. If you like alligator and don't mind using tin snips to cut armored skin then you should try it. I'm very pleased ! Here are the pictures of the Gar from being dressed to cooked. This one was about 2.5 feet long.

But the Gen 4 Glocks had "growing pains" when they first came out. It was the the first year of them having 2 piece recoil springs in their mid size and full size guns. This caused some problems that were eventually worked out.

That's neat that you are so close. It beats having to order online and wait days for small things like a $2 spring and such. Here you can walk right in and buy parts there.

While driving around on a "kid free" date with my wife , we drove by the location where the Glockstore is being built. The building is a lot deeper than it looks. It goes back pretty far. It's supposed to be the retail store and have a range inside. I keep my Glocks pretty much stock and dont do a lot of add-on things but still this place will be pretty neat I think to visit and look around. Supposed to be done in July I think. Just thought I'd share this.

I'm still waiting on this Dagger . have you guys heard anything more ?

Awesome. I don't know why I never thought of looking at something like this . Thanks for posting it .

No sir , I am talking about the slide lock , not the slide-stop lever . The slide lock has a pin directly in it and is square shaped and is to the right of your red circle. It is supposed to be a pain inthe butt to remove and most people end up marring the frame . I am always looking for someone that may know a way to remove it without all that crazy hassle.

I've asked other people this about the Canik , but have you Canik owners ever taken out the slide LOCK before ? It is supposedly a pain in the butt and marrs up the frame.

Thanks everyone for the helpful information . I'm going to practice and see how the shot patterns on my old shotgun go on paper. And then decide on what type of .22 rifle to get.
